Reaction Steps

[2-(1-Cyclohexenyl)-4-oxo-4H-[1]-benzopyran-8-yl]acetic acid (2.84 g), 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-methanol (3.96 g) and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (2.28 g) were added to dichloromethane (30 ml) with ice cooling and then the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain the title compound (2.65 g), yield 67%, m.p. 104°-105° C. (recrystallized from ethyl acetate).
